By: Billy Strayhorn
Duke Ellington, Queen Latifah, Natalie Cole
Key: Db
3* 4* 4* 4* 4* -5* -5* -5*-5* -6 -6 -6
I used to vis-it all the ver-y gay pla-ces
-6 -5* -5* -6 -6 -6
Those come what may pla-ces
-6 -5* -5* -6 -6 -6*-6* 7* 7*
Where one re-lax-es on the ax-is
-7 -7 -8 -8 -8
of the wheel of life
-7 -8 -7 7* 7* 7*
To get the feel of life…
-7* 6 6 6 6
From jazz and cock-tails.
3* 4* 4* 4* 4* -5*
The girls I knew had sad
-5* -5* -5* -6 -6 -6
and sul-len gray fac-es
-6 -5* -5* -6 -6 -6
With dis-tin-que trac-es
-6 -5* -5* -6 -6 -6* -6* 7* 7*
That used to be there you could see where
-7 -7 -8 -8 -8
they’d been washed a-way
-7 -8 -7 -8 7* 7* 7*
By too man-y thru the day…
6 6 -5* -5*
Twelve o’-clock tales.
8 5 5 5 -5 -5 -6 -6 -6 7*
Then you came a-long with your si-ren song
7* 8 -9 7* 8 8
To tempt me to mad-ness!
8 5 5 5 -5 -5 -6 -6 -6 7*
I thought for a while that your poig-nant smile
7* 8 8* -7* 8 8
was tinged with the sad-ness
-7*8 7* -7* 8 -6
Of a great love for me.
7* 7* -6* -6 -5*
Ah! yes I was wrong…
-5*-5* -6 5* 7*
A-gain, I was wrong.
3* -3* -4 6 -3 3*
Life is lone-ly a-gain,
-3* 4 6 -4 -3* 3* 4* -6 -6* 7* -4
And on-ly last year ev-�ry-thing seemed so sure.
-3 3* -3*-4 6 -3 3*
Now life is aw-ful a-gain,
-3* 4 6 -4 -3* 3* 4* -6 7* -7 5
A trough-ful of hearts could on-ly be a bore.
5* -5* -6 -6* -6* 6 -5* -6 -6* -6 6
A week in Par-is will ease the bite of it,
-3 -4 4 4 -3* -3 -4 4 4 -3*
All I care is to smile in spite of it.
3* -3* -4 6 -3 3*
I’ll for-get you, I will
-3* 4 6 -4 -3* 3* 4*
While yet you are still burn-ing
-6 -6* 7* -7*
in-side my brain.
-6 7* -6* 7*
Ro-mance is mush,
7* -6* -6 -5* -6
Sti-fling those who strive.
5 -5* 5* -5* -5* 5* 5* -4 -7*
I’ll live a lush life in some small dive…
-6 7* -6* 7* 7* -6* -6
And there I’ll be, while I rot
-6 -5* -6 3* -4 4 4*
With the rest of those whose lives
-5 -5* 6 -6
are lone-ly, too..
